Hello All,
I am quite new to Linux system. I installed Red Hat 7.1 on my home computer, which is a stand alone pc, and has no network connected. During installation my mouse was malfunctioning and I may have missed some N/w configuration screens. The problem is whenever i try pinging localhost ping 127.0.0.1 it gives this error: connect: no network found. I tried changing the NETWORKING field to "no" in the file /etc/sysconfig/network Also I checked /etc/hosts for localhost and its there. I discovered this error when I installed webmin and tried to browse to http://127.0.0.1:10000 to run it. Please help, Nikhil

Hi Nikhil,
Just check whether you have lo device up.Hmm u can check it by using 'ifconfig lo'.
and if it is down you can bring it up by using 'ifup lo'
Try this hope it works Ciao Tapesh

Do the following as root:
# ifconfig lo up
You most probably would like to enable loopback at startup so add "network" to the set of services that should run at startup.
I tried changing the NETWORKING field to "no" in the file /etc/sysconfig/network
Revert back to "yes"
